After a battle, the decisive battle time for real contact is only a few minutes. The rest of the time was spent catching prisoners in the mountains and plains.

In the end, seeing the large number of dejected prisoners, Wu Changqing had a headache.

This time, they killed and injured more than 450 Qing troops in total, among them, about 100 of the lightly wounded were able to be rescued, and more than 900 prisoners were captured.

The number of more than 1,000 people was too many, and Wu Changqing didn't know how to deal with it.

Killing is definitely not possible, he is not so cruel, and these soldiers are not unforgivable people.

But if they don't kill them, they will have one or two hundred people just to guard these prisoners, and the food consumed by these more than a thousand people in a day is not a small amount.

He still thinks that there are few people in his attack on Suzhou. How can there be any strength to guard these prisoners?

"General, caught a big fish."

Just when Wu Changqing was worried, Wang Dayong also escorted Cao Hu to claim credit.

This is a thousand households, not a small official.

"What's your name, what's the situation in Suzhou City now?"

Wu Changqing asked.

At this time, Cao Hu had already recovered his senses. He looked at Wu Changqing carefully, and answered cautiously in surprise: "The defeated Cao Hu is a thousand commanders under Admiral Wu. There are still 1,500 people in Suzhou City. There are many soldiers, plus other patrols and the like, there are still nearly 2,000 defenders."

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. Cao Hu is very honest at this moment.

"Go back to Wujiang first, and take a long-term view."

From Cao Hu's mouth, Wu Changqing learned some information about Suzhou.

Knowing that there were still nearly 2,000 defenders in Suzhou, Wu Changqing knew that the siege of the city could not be rushed, so he went to Wujiang County to join Wu Yi first.

And these prisoners were also brought to Wujiang County in one go.

Wujiang County.

When Wu Yi learned that Wu Changqing had won another big victory, he was also very emotional.

He feels that it is extremely difficult for others to win a battle, but Wu Changqing seems to be able to win a big victory as soon as he steps out.

For this somewhat legendary Wu Changqing, Wu Yidu can't wait to meet.

In the evening, Wu Changqing's army arrived in Wujiang County, and Wu Changqing and Wu Yi finally met for the first time.

Wu Changqing looked at Wu Yi. Wu Yi looked to be nearly forty years old, with a burly stature and a very mature middle-aged man.

Wu Yi is also looking at Wu Changqing, the first feeling is that he is young. Even if Wu Changqing was wearing armor, he couldn't hide the tenderness of his appearance.

"Brother Wu is fortunate to have won Wujiang County. You are the first in this battle."

Although Wu Changqing looks immature, he has a mature and stable temperament, which makes Wu Yi even more admired. This kind of temperament and momentum, it is all tempered by experience.

You can imagine how many hardships Wu Changqing has gone through. In the words of later generations, Wu Changqing is a person with a story.

"General Wu praised me badly. Compared with the general's credit, my victory is insignificant."

Although Wu Changqing called him old brother, Wu Yi didn't dare to care about him. In troubled times, whoever has more soldiers and more generals, and whoever is stronger is the boss.

Although everyone is a rebel army, his rebel army is far from being comparable to Wu Changqing in terms of strength and achievements.

Therefore, Wu Yi also consciously placed himself in the position of a subordinate, ready to obey Wu Changqing's dispatch. He would not be stupid enough to try to get hold of the dominant power just because Wu Changqing was young.

"The previous record has become the past, and we still focus on the present. We need to work together to win this siege of Suzhou."

The two went into the city chatting and laughing, while Wu Yi's generals kept looking at Wu Changqing's firearms. It is said that several great victories have relied on this invincible fire gun army.

The most intuitive feature of these fire guns is the fire guns with bayonets, followed by their mental outlook. The soldiers were unsmiling, walking in neat steps, not at all like the other soldiers who had won the battle.

From this point, Wu Yi's subordinates felt that this was a strong army.

In the evening, Wu Yi held a banquet, and several important generals gathered to drink and eat meat to celebrate the victory.

"General Wu is really a hero in the world. I think when I was sixteen years old, I was still studying in a hurry."

Wu Yi continued to praise Wu Changqing. It is really scary to achieve such an achievement at this age.

"Heroes are born in troubled times. If the world can be changed for peace, I don't want to be a hero. Everything I do is forced by the situation.

Now that all the land in the Central Plains has fallen into the hands of the Manchus, if I don't stand up again, I, the Han people, will really never see the light of day. "

"Well said, if the world can be changed for peace, I don't care about the name of this hero."

Wu Yi praised again. Invisibly, he was impressed by Wu Changqing's personality charm.

Every leader has an extraordinary personality. For example, Liu Daer, who sells straw sandals, no matter what predicament he is in, relying on his charisma, there is always a group of talents who insist on following him.

No matter what Cao Aman gave to Guan Yu, Guan Yu was not moved.

Another example is Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, in short, every arrogant person, he can attract a large number of people to work for it with his own charm.

Generally speaking, this thing is probably the so-called protagonist light

ring.

Wu Changqing is not so arrogant for the time being. For example, Cao Hu did not shout to surrender and allegiance as soon as he saw him. However, this charisma in him also grows unconsciously.

Just like Liu Hansan and Wu Yi, they have been convinced by Wu Changqing in their hearts.

After the celebration, everyone began to discuss tomorrow's war.

In order to prevent the arrival of reinforcements from the Qing court, they need to take Suzhou as soon as possible.

"Suzhou's city walls are tall, and it is really difficult to rely on us." Wu Yi said with emotion.

"General, I think we can choose a part of the soldiers who are willing to join us to expand our army. Most of these soldiers will not be loyal to the Qing court. Simply put, whoever feeds them and pays them, they will Who do you die for?"

Liu Hansan said that he is now thinking about expanding the army and expanding the army again. Only by expanding the army can his power and status rise.

"I think this method works. Even those corps leaders and super leaders can surrender. As long as they are divided into various divisions, they can't make any trouble."

Li Shaobin also agreed with this suggestion, because this is basically a common method for prisoners in this era.

An army composed of such prisoners has very limited combat effectiveness, but it is better than nothing. Moreover, there can be a large number of people in charge of guards left.

"This is feasible, and we will compile a part tomorrow."

Wu Changqing did not like the army composed of prisoners, it was unreliable. However, it takes time to recruit and train into the army, and he is short of time now, so he can only do this.
